It’s a pleasure to behold, especially with all the cold, hard and dull rectangular bare concrete blocks that still get so many of the Dezeen crowd swooning, even though Brutalism and it’s sterile offshoots have been around for over fifty years.

You can also try fitting a TV in the living room, but if you are a TV consumer, the first thing you’ll do is remove the second large sofa as you want to face the TV with it. You can choose to put the TV on the wall, use the wall for video projections or have it free standing by the terrace window. The smartest option though would be not to have a TV at all.

Instead of removing the beds from the plans, what people normally do is to draw a double bed in one bedroom and single beds in the rest of them. In these plans all the rooms have a double bed and you can walk around them, which is quite generous considering the tight dimensions that developers request for average market housing.

Also, circular escape stairs are accepted and suggested by code in France, but it’s easier to post here than doing some research. Fire and housing codes in France are quite strict, all the units must be PRM adapted, and these plans seem to comply with them.

However, don’t forget that this is a competition entry and I am sure the project will get better at further stages.
